My Stupidity

Once I was ordering Sushi.

I told the waiter to give me a dozen California rolls. He picked up a small pre-packed with 6 California rolls and asked: “so you want double the order of this, right.”

“No.” I insisted: “I want a dozen.”

As confused the waiter was, he asked again, “so you want double the order of the 6 pack, right?”

I became little bit irritated and once again, “No, I want 12 California rolls.” How he couldn’t understand me, I thought.

“OK.” The waiter finally gave me a quick answer. He grabbed two packs of 6s, a bigger container, and then he put my 12 California rolls into it.

“Huh … two 6 packs are 12…” I just totally stumped by my stupidity.

He nicely handed over my order with a cute smiley face, and I felt like burning red from head to toes.

On the way back, I just couldn’t stop laughing at myself, and I have to admit that I am very stupid sometimes.
